  9. Battery tool use and care.
    • WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
    • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing appliance that have the switch on invites accidents.
    • Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
    • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
    • Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
    • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
    • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
    • Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
    • Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
    • Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
    • Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
    • Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
  10. Important safety instructions for battery cartridge.
    • Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
    • Do not disassemble or tamper the battery cartridge. It may result in a fire, excessive heat, or explosion.
    • If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
    • If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
    • Do not short the battery cartridge.
    • Do not store and use the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).
    • Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the battery cartridge. Such conduct may result in a fire, excessive heat, or explosion.
    • Do not use a damaged battery.
    • The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging and labeling must be observed. For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required. Please also observe possibly more detailed national regulations. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging.
    • Use the batteries only with the products specified by Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliant products may result in a fire, excessive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
    • If the tool is not used for a long period of time, the battery must be removed from the tool.
    • During and after use, the battery cartridge may take on heat which can cause burns or low temperature burns. Pay attention to the handling of hot battery cartridges.
    • Do not touch the terminal of the tool immediately after use as it may get hot enough to cause burns.
    • Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery cartridge. It may result in poor performance or breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
    • Unless the tool supports the use near high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use the battery cartridge near high-voltage electrical power lines. It may result in a malfunction or breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
    • Keep the battery away from children.
  11. Tips for maintaining maximum battery life.
    • Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
    • Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
    • Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 °C – 40 °C (50 °F – 104 °F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
